Page 19 of Fire in Cabin 27
“It really is. Send it to me, please.” My smile was wide and so true to the way I felt when we were together. How thoughtful was that of him? Only a couple weeks in and I felt more alive than I ever had.
My phone vibrated in my hand and there we were, the corner of his mouth turned up in a grin as he kissed me. “Can we stop soon for lunch?” In our haste to get out of town we skipped breakfast.
“Was gonna suggest the same myself. Let’s hit the road and see what it holds up ahead.”
It wasn’t long before we pulled into a small town and popped into their diner, which seemed to be a theme in rural locations, I’d noticed. Not much by way of stores, but they always have a dining establishment. While we were there, Kyson booked us aremote cabin for the night, stating it should be safe enough to leave the boxes in the trucks, plus it was just off the route we were traveling along.
“Wow,” I stepped out my car and into a B-rated slasher film. “It’s very…”
“Lost in time?”
Kyson took the words right out of my mouth. “Yeah like straight out of a 1970’s horror movie set.”
He shrugged. “Your big, bad, dragon is here to protect you, Princess. Besides, it had all five-star reviews online. Let’s get settled in for the night.”
As soon as we stepped inside, I froze. “Am I in a parallel dimension?” This did not match the worn-out exterior. The interior had been completely modernized with all stainless-steel appliances and was immaculate. “Wow.”
“No kidding. Maybe the outside wards off the evil,” Kyson laughed. “Come on, let’s grab our overnight bags and dinner.” Thankfully, he’d ordered easy to reheat, to-go dinners for us at the diner, and the cabin had a microwave.
“Who knew driving was so exhausting,” I dropped back onto the couch.
“You forget about all the marathon packing we did beforehand. Here,” he handed me a Styrofoam container and a bottle of water. “Dinner is served.”
“Thank you. Kisses!” I made kissy faces at Kyson. He grinned and pressed his lips to mine then went to get his food.
“So, I was thinking that maybe building the new house should be done sooner rather than later.”
“Why?”
“Well, that vast collection of runway worthy clothing you have will fill up the guest room at the current house, which I’m only renting. There won’t be room to walk through the wall-to-wall boxes. It’s a tiny house.”
“I was thinking about selling some of it online. Not that I need the money, but it would give me something to do and free up space. Do you have a website for your stuff already? Maybe I could just add a page to it for mine.”
I’d always read the lines in books,he stared blankly back at me, and never fully understood them until now.
“You do have a website, right?” He shook his head. “How can anyone in this day and age sell anything without a website. Are you on eBay?” Another no. “So, you are strictly by word of mouth or in the stores you’d mentioned.”
“Yup. You’re speaking Greek to this dragon, darlin’.”
I shook my head, beyond stunned. “We’ll remedy that as soon as we get to your house.”
“Our house.”
My heart leapt when he said that. “Our house.”
“I saw you that day, in town,” Kyson began. “Walking down the street before I returned to cabin and found you dancing in the kitchen.”
“You did? And you didn’t say anything?”
“Hmm, well, what my dragon and I thought wasn’t public friendly and I was sitting in the diner at the time,” my sexy dragon growled.
“What was the first word that came to mind when you saw me?”
“Flawless.”
My face heated. “Thank you.”
“My dragon knew right away that you were our mate and he wasn’t relenting.”
